first-ever Chimaira Deluxe Fan Edition Box Set. Check out the store to see
everything included in this very limited item.
Guitarist Rob Arnold commented on the new song: ““I think ‘Secrets of the
Dead’ is a great song to give people a taste of The Infection. I’m not quite
sure exactly what people will be expecting, but one thing’s for sure…this
one’s a heavy motherfucker!”“
The Infection is CHIMAIRA’s fifth studio album and third with producer Ben
Schigel, who worked with the band on their 2003 breakthrough release, “The
Impossibility of Reason,” as well as CHIMAIRA’s self-titled record in 2005.
CHIMAIRA is currently gearing up for their slot on the Music As A Weapon
Tour, where they will be supporting Disturbed, along with Killswitch Engage
and Lacuna Coil. The full US tour in support of The Infection kicks off
March 20 in Madison, WI.
